The Introductory Biochemistry course covers fundamental biochemical and molecular biological laboratory techniques, supporting concepts, and data analysis. The aims of this course are 1. to provide students with practical knowledge and hands-on experience with some of the most common experimental methods used in biochemical and molecular biological research and 2. to introduce students to the fundamentals of scientific writing.

An elementary course not for Biochemistry majors. Survey of the structure and function of biological molecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Emphasis on relation to other life sciences. Topics include bioenergetics, enzymology, pathways in energy metabolism, and metabolic regulation. Prerequisite: 1 semester of organic chemistry.

This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

Individual laboratory research project under supervision of a faculty member. Interested students should contact individual faculty members well in advance of beginning of classes to set up projects.

For sophomore-level majors in biology, microbiology, or biochemistry. Building upon concepts introduced in BIOLOGY 151/152, consideration given to structure and function at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. Equally divided between aspects of molecular biology and cellular biology. (Credit for only one of AnimlSci/Biochem/Biology 285.)
